Today's Promise: Philippians 3:20 In this episode, we look at six things God says about heaven. As a Christian, you need never worry about "if" you will go to heaven. Through faith in Christ, you have the promise that when you close your eyes in death, you will open them in the presence of God. As citizens of heaven, we live in this world differently. We know that it is just a temporary place before we spend eternity in heaven.

You see God's plan, His vision, is and always has been, to prepare a people for himself in the midst of whom he can dwell. Every aspect of our character, our spiritual formation if you will, contributes to that ultimate goal, that ultimate vision. Jesus is planning on riding through the gates of your life. So ,your renovation matters. Not just be cause it makes your life better. Not just because it benefits the people around you. It matters because you are a part of God's city, God's temple, God's people God's kingdom, that He is building for all eternity. So, when you work to develop a deeper prayer life it matters for God's Eternal Kingdom. When you work on getting deeper into community or being reshaped by the word, it matters for God's Eternal Kingdom. When you seek to make every aspect of your life an act of worship doing everything in the name of Jesus for the glory of God, it matters for God's Eternal Kingdom. When you care for the vulnerable, put others first, learn to see the world through the eyes of a child, make space in your life for others, be meek, and humble in spirit, celebrate with joy, interact with goodness, and kindness, and gentleness. Whatever renovation that you feel God calling you into, you can be sure it's not just for your benefit. It's a part of God's grand vision for his Eternal Kingdom, that he might dwell with his people, for all eternity. That's what the renovation is all about.
CHRIST'S GLORY AWAKENS US TO 1. The Ultimate Exodus (vv. 29-31) 2. The Eternal Kingdom (vv. 30-32) 3. The Mountaintop Mission (vv. 33-36)
“For when you die and are buried with your ancestors, I will raise up one of your descendants, your own offspring, and I will make his kingdom strong. He is the one who will build a house—a temple—for my name. And I will secure his royal throne forever.” (2 Samuel 7:12–13 NLT) Charting the rise and fall of empires is not always easy to determine, as there are overlapping or conflicting dates of when nations rise and fall. Generally speaking, though, the Western Roman Empire lasted just over 500 years, from 27 BC to AD 476. The Ottoman Empire lasted 623 years, from 1299 to 1922 (although its remnants can still be found in living rooms throughout the world). The Assyrian Empire, in its different forms, surpassed the millennium mark beginning in 2025 BC through the fall of the Neo-Assyrian Empire in 609 BC, it spanned more than 1,400 years. It’s hard to draw parallels between these empires or to say definitively why some endure longer than others. Some people might say the only real takeaway is that nothing lasts forever. But that’s not true. The passage from 2 Samuel 7 above records the promise God made to David, the king of Israel and “a man after God’s own heart.” God promised David that his kingdom—and that of his son and successor Solomon—would last forever. And it would last forever because their descendant would be the Messiah, the Son of God, who will rule for eternity. Psalm 89:29 offers a similar prophecy: “I will preserve an heir for him; his throne will be as endless as the days of heaven” (NLT). And Isaiah 9:7 says of the Anointed One, or Messiah, “His government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity. The passionate commitment of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies will make this happen!” (NLT). When you think of all the things that can go wrong in a nation, empire, or kingdom, the idea of one lasting forever seems nearly impossible. But that speaks to the nature of Christ’s kingdom. There will be no divisions, no corruption, no power plays, no dissatisfaction. The Lord will rule, and everyone in His kingdom will joyfully submit to Him. Revelation 21:4 says, “He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever” (NLT). That brings us to one more point that absolutely must be mentioned. Not only will Christ’s kingdom last forever, so will everyone in it. The apostle Paul wrote, “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23 NLT). Jesus paid those wages when He gave His life on the cross in our place. His sacrifice makes it possible for us to live forever with Him. He said so Himself: “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die” (John 11:25–26 NLT). If you have put your faith in Jesus Christ and have asked Him to forgive you of your sin, the Bible teaches that when you die, you will go immediately into the presence of God in Heaven. That is God’s promise to you. But God promises not only life beyond the grave; He also promises life during life—not just an existence, but a life worth living. Jesus said, “My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life” (John 10:10 NLT). That is the hope and promise for all Christians. That is why the believer does not have to be afraid to die. Or afraid to live. Reflection question: How do you know—or how can you know—that you will spend eternity with Christ in His kingdom?

Ever look at the headlines and wonder if there's a deeper plan behind the rise and fall of nations? The prophet Daniel receives a stunning vision of four monstrous beasts emerging from chaotic waters—symbolizing earthly kingdoms that grow powerful and then collapse. Yet the heart of this vision isn't about the beasts at all; it's about the “Son of Man”—a Messianic figure who represents Jesus and is given eternal dominion. This reveals a crucial theological truth: while earthly empires come and go, God's kingdom stands unshakable and everlasting. If Christ truly reigns over history, then our hope doesn't hinge on whoever happens to be in power right now. Instead, we can anchor our faith in the sovereignty of a King who outlasts every political scheme, economic crisis, and cultural upheaval. We are beckoned to live with an eternal perspective—grounding our decisions, priorities, and ambitions in God's unending kingdom rather than the temporary systems of our world. How would your life change if you believed that the chaos around you can't derail God's redemptive plan? Let's discover how trusting in Christ's reign and kingdom can reshape our outlook, our choices, and our hope.
Sermon Text: 2 Samuel 7:1-17 Andrew Zabel 02/23/2025
2025-01-19Sunday SermonDaniel 2:1-49Pastor Minho Kim
On the surface, the account of God calling Abraham to offer Isaac is one of the most difficult passages in the Bible. We can't imagine God actually calling any of His people to do such a thing. But we'll see in today's episode, that when we understand the context of this passage, and what Abraham knew to be true, we'll see that it was an amazing step of faith that actually shows us the kind of faith that God calls us all to. Please join us in this important study in God's Word! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: Genesis 22 1. Using a Bible atlas or online atlas, locate Beersheba on the map to the right. Also, locate the Wilderness of Moriah on the map. What importance does each of these locations have in Genesis 22? 2. This chapter contains God's command to Abraham to offer his son Isaac as a burnt offering. While we know how the story ends, this would be an unsettling command for anyone to hear. How does the miraculous origin of Isaac's conception help us understand why Abraham was so calm in his obedience to the Lord? How do the words “we” and “return” in verse 5 give us a window into Abraham's mindset as he obeyed the Lord? 3. In verse 8, Abraham assures Isaac that the Lord will provide a sacrifice. How has Abraham seen the provision of the Lord in his life before this? How have you seen the Lord provide in your life? How might dwelling upon God's prior provision give us strength in times of present distress? 4. Think about Isaac's age in this passage. Do you think a 120-year-old man could have physically put Isaac on the altar? What would have had to happen in order for Isaac to get on it? How does this likelihood help us understand Isaac's role in this event? 5. Isaac was Abraham's only link to something and someone. What and Who was Isaac the link to? What kind of faith did Abraham demonstrate by being willing to break this link, if that was to be the Lord's will? 6. This passage also gives us a picture of the substitutionary death of Christ. How? What did God's substitute mean for Isaac? What does Christ's substitute mean for us? 7. Verses 16 to 18 contain one of the most important promises in the Old Testament regarding who the offspring of Abraham are. Who are the “four seeds” suggested in the lesson? Which ones will be in God's Eternal Kingdom? Why? Are you among the believing seed spoken of in these verses? 8. Genesis 22 shows the kind of faith that this new nation would be founded upon. How would you summarize Abraham's faith and obedience from this event? Where does this kind of faith come from? 9. Are there any situations in your life where you simply need to trust and obey God as Abraham did here? Are you able to trust and obey Him? Why or why not? 10. Have you ever sung the children's song, “Father Abraham”? It says that he had many sons. In light of what the lesson has taught about this passage, who are those sons? When the song says, “I am one of them, and so are you,” what does that mean? Is that true of you? Why or why not? Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis! Available on Amazon!

1. The Son's Perfect Character2. The Son's Spiritual Blessings3. The Son's Eternal Kingdom
This Christmas message explores the profound truth that the birth of Christ is the ultimate expression of God's love. Through Mary's extraordinary encounter with God, Pastor Matt Petty reveals five transformative truths about divine love: • God's love knows us intimately - even a humble teenage girl in Nazareth • His power manifests in unexpected ways - turning ordinary moments into divine appointments • His mercy extends beyond generations - from Abraham to Mary to us today • He lifts up the humble heart - choosing those the world overlooks • He faithfully keeps every promise - proving that no word from God will ever fail Through Mary's courageous response, we learn that true faith isn't about our worthiness but about saying "yes" to God's love. This message challenges us to move beyond seasonal celebrations to experience the transformative power of divine love that changes everything.

Living in Babylon | The Eternal Kingdom
Everything in this life will pass away - earthly kingdoms rise and fall, earthly wealth is here and gone. But we are citizens of an eternal kingdom that brings us constant peace, unending joy, and certain safety. This sermon based on Daniel 7:13,14 was preached on Christ the King Sunday, November 24, 2024, for a sermon series called "No Fear: Faith in Uncertain Times."
Looking at the vision in Daniel 7, James Steinbach describes the prophetic expectation that the son of man will accept an eternal kingdom on behalf of God's people, delivering us from all earthly kingdoms. When we live in the hope of that kingdom, we find strength to suffer like Jesus, oppose injustice, and rest patiently in God.
Political scientist Adam Carrington reflects on the transitorary nature of political victories, and as citizens of God's Kingdom how we should live in light of our recent election. The Philos Project's Luke Moon looks at the recent attacks on fans of the Israeli national soccer team in Amsterdam and other recent anti-semitic attacks.

Christ's sovereign reign prevails over all earthly rebellion, as Pastor Jim Osman expounds from Psalm 2:7-9. The passage reveals three aspects of Christ's rule: He rules as the divine Son, God's appointed steward over all nations, and the sovereign judge who will shatter His enemies. Christ's sovereign reign prevails, establishing His eternal kingdom through righteous judgment and redemption. ★ Support this podcast ★

Revelations 21:9-12 (part 1)
In this Bible Story, we watch the fragile kingdom of Jeroboam descend into idolatry and pride. Jeroboam erects altars of golden calves and establishes pagan priests. The Lord sends a man from Judah to rebuke him, but his disobedience does not cease. This story is inspired by 1 Kings 12:25-13:8 & 13:33-34. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is 1 Kings 12:28 from the King James Version.Episode 118: Jeroboam, Israel's new king, built a new capital in Shechem to separate themselves from Judah. However, because the temple of God was in Judah, people would still travel from his kingdom to worship in Judah. Jeroboam feared this would lead to the loss of his kingdom and his life. So he, like Aaron so many years before, made two golden calves and introduced them as Israel's new gods. Slowly Jeroboam added more and more idols into Israel's public worship. God would not stand for the corruption of His people and sent a prophet to let him know what would become of his idolatrous altar.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.
